Pretty slick Lou. Now all you need is a Genuine Cyprus Springs slolum water ski.

Lou.....I don't recall seeing the P15 ragtop before (maybe I just somehow

missed it).......what's the story on that one?

Boat looks great.

I've seen several of those sitting around in this area, always thought it

would be fun to own one. But I wouldn't end up using it much, so I just

keep on driving by.

Neat boat Lou. Love those fins !

Question....in your 3rd photo in the background at the back of the boat.....Is that boat a RedFish? It appears to have tail fins too.

It sure looks like mine.

If the boat and crew in the picture are actually yours you would be way too exhausted to be posting on this forum.

Don, It really is my boat and boating has always been very stimulating for me. Not sure why but after a day out on the water enjoying the fresh air and the sites I always feel 20 years younger.
